How many facilities only collect vibration data when it doesn’t interfere with other activities? So often collecting and analyzing data is only one part of a given person’s responsibilities and workloads dictate that the collection and/or analysis take a back seat. When this happens, machine problems are not detected and therefore not reported for corrective […]

Grease, excess paint, etc. can affect the quality of collected vibration data. The below 3 steps will ensure that the best possible data quality is always collected: Always carry a rag, scraper, brush, etc. to clean each measurement location before acquiring vibration data. Make sure that the measurement surface is flat and the sensor is not rocking […]

Problem: In a number of real world applications the speed of a machine cannot be held to a fixed RPM while vibration data is collected. Solution: The order tracking capability of the VIBXPERT allows accurate data collection on machines that experience constant speed changes during data acquisition.Applications such as a winder that spools paper coming […]
